Luton Hoo - Bedrooms
Lot 1149:
Description
This lot comprises a pair of framed prints, likely reproductions, each depicting a gilded bronze candelabrum of the Empire style. The candelabrum features a classical-style male figure, possibly a putto, supporting a multi-branched candle holder adorned with foliage and fruit, all set on a dark cylindrical pedestal with a gilded base band. Each print is presented under glass, with a white mat, within a gold-colored wooden frame exhibiting a textured finish. Text at the bottom of each print identifies the piece as “The Trianon” and states, “Le bras de lumiere que porte l’enfant est un chef-d’oeuvre de la ciselure et de la dorure sur bronze – Empire, chateau de Fontainebleau.” (The arm of light that the child carries is a masterpiece of chasing and gilding on bronze – Empire, Fontainebleau Castle).
